For Him

Spring Must Haves for Him

For Him, Seasonal Favorites • April 5, 2018

If you are one of those men who buys the exact same clothing pieces from the very same retailer(s) season after season, then this post is really for YOU!

Let’s face it, as humans we are creatures of habits, so walking into the same store(s) and picking up the very same items, without even having to try them on, is a huge convenience, right? I totally get it, but the truth is that you do end up looking like any other guy out there with very little personal style added to your overall look.

You’ll be surprised how very little it takes to elevate your style by just adding a handful of out of the box classic basics and a few on trend pieces, which you can easily mix & match with your existing basics, takes you from drab to dashing instantly.

Knowing how dependent men are on their basics, I have featured a number of out of the box classic basics with a twist to make this transformation into an elevated style a smoother transition. The best part of all the featured pieces is that they all will look great with your existing basics as khakis, jeans, navy blazer as well as denim jacket.

Looking closer you will notice that they aren’t that much different from your ‘go-to’ basics season after season, however what a huge difference that little bit of added twist in colour, texture and pattern can do to your overall look and style.

1. Checkered Casual Shirt / 2. Blue Chinos / 3. Braided Belt / 4. Chino Web Belt / 5. Striped Tee / 6. Denim Shirt / 7. Checkered Linen Blazer / 8. Pink Vintage Wash Shorts / 9. Leather Sneakers / 10. Silk Pocket Square / 11. White Oxford Shirt / 12. Striped Oxford Shirt / 13. Basic Tees

Whether you are looking to completely change your style or just looking to add a few new basics with twist in your closet then do check out my ‘Spring Must Haves for Him – Spring’ video here below to get more insight on the must haves for this Spring. Believe me, you will be turning heads this spring with that little bit of extra style!

Last week I spoke about Holiday Style for her and continuing on the same subject I’ll be talking about Holiday Style for Him in this week’s blog. With Christmas being my favourite holiday where I’d like to spend my days in a warm and soft cashmere sweater bundled up with a good book while sipping on hot coco is where the inspiration for these Holiday Styles for him featured in this blog are inspired from.

Cozy Casual Look

1. Cashmere Turtleneck / 2. Leather Boots / 3. Twill 5-pkt Pants / 4. Wool Topcoat / 5. Suede Belt

This season I feel the menswear fashion seem to have a strong influence from the 60’s menswear fashion in it, especially in silhouette, fabrication as well as colours. Of course the colours and the prints aren’t as bold as the late 60’s, but the overall essence of those characteristics are visible with many menswear retail brands. With the early 60’s being one of my favourite eras in men’s fashion, it was a lot of fun creating the outfit ideas featured in this post inspired from two of my favourite things; cozy Christmas feeling and 60’s Sleek Style!

Chic Semi-Formal Look

1. Cashmere Crew Neck / 2. Herringbone Scarf / 3. Suede Belt / 4. Corduroy Pants / 5. Wool Blazer / 6. Chelsea Boots

In this post I have put together three outfit ideas with three different Christmas Celebration types in mind; Cozy Casual for a family oriented holiday feast, Chic Semi-Formal for a holiday feast with friends and last but not least; Sleek Formal for a formal dinner holiday feast. I hope this post inspires you to dress up in a cozy yet stylish outfit this holiday season and don’t forget to check out my Holiday Style for Him – 60’s Sleek video, linked here below, to get some more insight about the three Holiday Outfit Style options I have put together. So gentlemen which outfit idea is your favourite style and why?

Sleek Formal Look

1. Tux Shirt / 2. Velvet Shoes / 3. Leather Belt / 4. Dress Pants / 5. Velvet Blazer / 6. Cufflinks / 7. Silk Pocket Square

How may times have you asked yourself: ‘what should I get him?’ or heard yourself saying: ‘He has everything’ or ‘I don’t know what he likes!’ The good news is that you are not the only one, we all have asked the same question and wondered about the same things year after year and somehow still end up buying the wrong gifts for him! Let’s face it the first thing we all think about when it comes to gifting a male it is either a sweater or a tie, and of course the good old pair of socks, right?

Card Holder / Wrist Watch / Cuff Links / Silk Tie / Silk Pocket Square / Gift Certificate / Custom Wine / Laptop Bag / Toiletry Bag

Having worked at a high end men’s clothing brand during my university days, I can confidently say that it taught me a few things about menswear including what kind of gifts men like to receive. As a Personal Shopper not only was I helping them in putting together a great suite or a whole new wardrobe, but also wearing my ‘therapist’ hat and hearing men of all ages and walks of life complain about the lousy gift the girlfriend or fiance or even the wife got them in return of the amazing gift they got them!

So yes my dears, men do take notice of these things just like us women and even they know the difference between a thoughtful and personal gift versus a lousy and cliche gift. Here are some of my gift ideas for him, where I have put together some traditional and some not so traditional items to gift that special male in you life this holiday season. Don’t forget to check out my Gift Ideas for Him YouTube video, linked here below, to get some more insight on what to get him next time you are out shopping gifts for him. Time to say good-bye to those typical and boring gifts for him and hello to some stylish and classy gifts for him!

In my last week’s Blog I spoke about Holiday Fashion for Her and wanted to continue on the same note and talk about Holiday Fashion for Him as well, as we are approaching the Holiday season.

I feel that there are a lot of style and fashion conscious en out there but not as much as information out there for them when it comes to fashion and style in comparison to women which is why I decided to post this blog.

Just like my last post Holiday Fashion for Her I have tried to put together three different outfit ideas for three different celebration options as: being the host, going for a Thanksgiving brunch/lunch or attending a more formal dinner.

Here are my three outfit ideas and check out my Holiday Fashion for Him YouTube video to get more insight on the three holiday celebration outfit options. So gentlemen how did you like this post?
